Retaliation Amiss- Chapter 11

Chapters 1-11
Chapter 11

Nora and Bo sat in their therapist office. While it had been going overall well, Nora felt like there was still something missing. She didn’t feel whole, she always felt whole when she was Bo. Since Georgie and Sam, that hadn’t been the case. Nora was tired of it, she wanted her husband back, she wanted them back.

“I don’t know what you want from me Red, I am here I think we are doing well.”
“Oh come on Bo, you feel it too don’t you? We aren’t there, there is something still blocking us from being one again.”
Bo raised his hands in annoyance.
“I love you, you know I do.”
“Then why haven’t we made love yet Bo? It has been nearly 6 months since we made love. That has never been a problem with us. Even when we were in knock down drag out fights, we never had an issue connecting emotionally or physically.”
“Nora, I, don’t want to tell you.”
Nora fought her tears and anger.
“You need to Bo, I want our connection back. I miss you, I miss us.”
Bo ran his hands through his hair.

“Because every time I really touch you I think of Sam. I wonder how he touched you, I wondered if you whispered his name, I wonder.” Bo took a deep breath. “I wonder if he connected to you as deep as I do when I make love to you. I wonder if he made you happier, I wonder if he created life with my soulmate.”
Nora lost her fight with her emotions.

“Oh Bo. I am so sorry. I wish had told me so long ago.”
She moved and sat next him putting his face in his hands looking in eyes.

“No one, I mean no one can ever have the same connection as you do with me. Even if he is this child’s biological father. Bo, you are will be the baby’s father in every other way, because you are my heart. I can’t live without you.”
Bo cried and pulled her to him.

“I love you so much Red. I am so scared I’ll lose you.”
“That will never happen.”
They kissed. The therapist spoke up.

“I think this was a wonderful session. You two just need to keep talking okay. I’ll see you next week.”

Bo took her hand and lead them out to their car. They chatted as they drove home. They kept it light, they always did after a heavy session like that. They got home Nora ran out of the car, her bladder was screaming. She could hear Bo laughing as she ran as fast as her body would let her.

She came back into the living room. Bo was on the couch just sitting there.
“Hey, what you thinking about?”
“You. About how much I love you. But you were right, I’ve had a wall up since I found out about Sam. I am sorry honey.”
“It’s okay Bo, I did an awful thing, I don’t blame you. But we are working on it. That is all I care about.”
Bo pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. She moaned, they both started to remove their clothing. Bo kissed down her body. He stopped at her slightly rounded stomach. He rubbed it and kissed it. Nora sighed at the sensation. Bo stood and pulled her up and led them to their bedroom. Nora smiled, she felt whole for the first time in months.
